A Better Life

Carlos Galindo (Demian Bichir) dreamed of good things for his wife and son when they crossed the border into the US. After his wife leaves him, Carlos' only goal was to make sure his son Luis was given the opportunities he never had. After years of hard work, he still finds himself drifting apart from Luis, now a teenager, who is susceptible to peer pressures. Carlos borrows what little money he can and invests it all into his own gardening business, hoping to finally achieve the better life he always envisioned for his son.
